The moon was shining brightly, and the silver moonlight fell on this desolate land. Yunxi and the three of them lay on the grass, truly using the ground as their bed.
Looking at the bright moon hanging high on the dome, Yun Xi's thoughts are flying.
Today they searched many places, including some wooden houses, but did not find any traces of Buddha statues. She had a vague feeling that even if she searched all the remaining wooden houses, she would not find anything.<
/p>
What is the problem?
Yun Xi frowned.
The system will not lie to her. Since the Buddha statue is prompted, there must be a Buddha statue in the village.
Is it hidden somewhere?
Is it possible that she really has to dig three feet into the ground? Even if she is willing to expend this effort, the villagers will definitely not agree.
The more Yun Xi thought about it, the more confused she became, and finally she just meditated and started thinking.
Xiao Lingyuan, who was about to take action, blinked blankly, very dissatisfied with Yun Xi's ungrateful way of acting.
However, she could naturally see that Yun Xi was thinking wholeheartedly at the moment, so she stopped interrupting and continued to meditate.
In this way, early the next morning, Yun Xi and the others started taking action again.
From morning to noon, they carefully searched all the remaining houses, and the answers were still the same as yesterday.
Nothing was found.
Ye Nianhan looked at Yun Xi, who could not relax his brows, and asked: "Xiao Xi, are you sure it has something to do with the Buddha statue?"
"There is no mistake, it must be related to the Buddha statue."
The system cannot deceive itself.
"But let alone Buddha statues in the village, there is not even a single stone statue!"
Xiao Lingyuan puffed out her cheeks and muttered.
Hearing this, Yun Xi was stunned, and suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "I understand! It's because our thinking is fixed! A Buddha statue does not necessarily mean a Buddha statue made of stones!"
"What is that?"
In Xiao Lingyuan's understanding, the Buddha statue has always been a big stone or metal.
"Shadow! It could also be a shadow!"
Yun Xi said excitedly: "It may not really be a Buddha statue, it may just look like a Buddha statue! Let's work separately and start from other aspects such as the shape of the shadow!"
"Okay."
The three men were very quick and took action again.
But as the sun set, they still found nothing.
"How could this happen?"
When Yun Xi tried hard to think about what went wrong, Qing Tan came over with three lunch boxes in his hand.
"Want something to eat?"
He stretched out his hand.
Yun Xi shook her head and said nothing.
Qingtan handed it to Xiao Lingyuan and the others again, but they also refused.
In desperation, he put the lunch box on the ground, turned around and left.
‘If it’s not a shadow, what else could it be?’
While thinking hard, Yun Xi's eyes inadvertently fell on the lunch box, and then slowly moved to look at the distant mountain peaks.
"It's just that in these years, the grass has disappeared and the creek has disappeared."
For no reason, the words Qingtan said yesterday whispered in her ears, and her eyes slowly focused on the distant peak.
"Qingtan!"
Yun Xi turned around quickly and shouted to Qing Tan who had already walked away.
Qingtan turned around, as if he knew what she wanted to ask.
His voice came along with the breeze.
"There used to be a lake there!"
Lake...
The three of them looked towards the foot of the mountain. When the image of the lake appeared in front of their eyes, the scenery ahead suddenly changed.
There is a calm lake under the peak, which reflects the reflection of the peak. The front and back shadows combine to form the shape of a Buddha head.
"Right there!"
The three of them shouted in unison.
After getting the result, the three of them ran towards the distant peak without hesitation.
Yun Xi's steps paused slightly before she lowered her head. Three white lunch boxes stood out among the grass.
"It's wrong to waste food."
Yun Xi muttered to herself and put away the lunch box.
When they arrived at the base of the small peak, less than half of the setting sun in the distance was left.
"Search separately!"
Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, the three of them took action quickly.
Two quarters of an hour later, the sunset had gone and the sky was dark.
Yun Xi and Xiao Lingyuan received the news from Ye Nianhan, and they quickly ran in the direction of Ye Nianhan.
"Did you find anything?"
Ye Nianhan pointed forward and said excitedly: "Look at that!"
The two walked forward and saw a stone monument. The stone monument had long been covered with moss and algae because no one had taken care of it for a long time.
Yun Xi releases a ray of spiritual power and washes away the moss and algae.
The moss and algae disappeared, and what appeared next was a gray-white stone tablet with two ancient fonts engraved on it.
Buddha.
"Furen? Is this the name of this mountain?"
Yunxi gently brushed the inscriptions on the stone tablet.
Ye Nianhan said: "The Buddha is a Buddha. The Buddha statue you are talking about is probably the entire Buddha Mountain."
Yun Xi turned around and looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes.
"Who would have thought that the source of the curse on Qingxi Village actually comes from a small mountain peak one kilometer away."
Xiao Lingyuan asked curiously: "Xiao Xi, even if the curse really comes from here, then those spellcasters hired by the Lord County Prince should be able to detect the traces of the curse, right?"
Yun Xi was noncommittal.
"But what if the culprit that caused them to become what they are now is not a curse?"
"It's not a curse? Then why does it only affect people in Qingxi Village?"
"Just go and see and you'll find out."
Yun Xi took the lead and walked towards the top of the mountain.
It was another bright moon night, and the three of them arrived at the top of Furen Mountain. There were many vegetation and bushes here, and it looked very chaotic.
"Someone has been here."
Ye Nianhan pointed to the broken branches and obscure paths ahead.
Yun Xi pushed aside the bushes and looked at the trampled weeds with a slight smile on her face.
"It's Qingtan."
Even Xiao Lingyuan realized that things were not that simple.
The broken branches on the trees and the paths under the shrubs all have traces left in the recent past. In today's Qingxi Village, who else but Qingtan can come to this place.
"Let's go and have a look."
Yun Xi sighed softly.
The three of them crossed the bushes and came to the top of the mountain. Compared with the surroundings, it seemed more desolate. There were no bushes, no pine rocks, only weeds and moss all over the ground.
"Let me do it this time!"
Xiao Lingyuan took the lead, and the green spiritual power spread out, clearing away all the weeds and moss on the ground.
A huge circular stone plate slowly appeared in front of the three of them.
This is a disc made of ordinary gray stone. After removing the moss and algae, the surface of the disc becomes pitted, but that’s all.
There are no runes, no formation seals, and no star trails on the disk.
This is just an ordinary stone plate that cannot be more ordinary.
Xiao Lingyuan walked along the stone plate, looking left and right, quite unwillingly.
"On the back."
Yun Xi's voice was particularly loud in the dark night, and the evening wind could not disperse her words.
Xiao Lingyuan suddenly realized, walked directly to the side of the stone plate, grabbed one side of the stone plate with both hands, and the spiritual power in his body suddenly exploded!
"Get up, Miss!"
With a loud "boom" sound, Xiao Lingyuan directly lifted the entire stone plate up from the soil, turned it over, and then threw it down directly.
Boom boom——
The stone plate fell to the ground and trembled several times. The wet soil stuck to the other side of the stone plate, making it difficult to see its entirety.
But only the small part revealed is enough for people to understand that Yun Xi's guess is not wrong.
The three people's eyes fell on the exposed textures.
